Q

what effect do viruses have on cells?

A

cell destruction- start to see symptoms
cell alteration- does not interfere with cell activity, recognizes as foreign and attacks
cellular transformation- does not respond to normal growth control- does not stop growing (tumors)

Q

steps in viral infection cycle

A
  1. adsorption- attachment to cell, specific proteins on virus attach to specific proteins on cell wall
  2. penetration- enveloped virus- fusion of membrane, envelop of virus fuses with cell membrane. naked virus- endocytosis, comes around cell, cell now in a vesicle
    3 .release of viral genetic material- uncoat capsid to release genetic material from cytoplasm (endocytosis- enzymes and pH break down capsid)
  3. steps in nucleic acid replication and protein synthesis- virus comes into cell and makes copies of self to make more of virus. need proteins to make genetic material
  4. assembly of viral particle- need to make capsid around genetic material
    6.release of infectious viral particle- enveloped-lyse, naked- buds off

there are three major serotypes what does this mean and which are we most concerned with

A

different strains, A & B effect humans

167
Q

what does hemagglutinin do?

A

functions in attachment

168
Q

what does neuraminidase do?

A

helps in penetration and budding off

169
Q

what does H1N1 mean

A

has type Hemagglutinin 1 Neuraminidase 1

170
Q

how are strains named?

A

serotype/host/place/ID#/Year found/HA and NA

171
Q

antigenic drift

A

subtle changes with each subtype (single mutation)

172
Q

antigenic shift

A

major changes

173
Q

symptoms of orthomyxoviridae

A

abrupt onset, muscle aches, fever chills

174
Q

transmission of orthomyxoviridae

A

direct respiratory droplet spread

175
Q

prevention of orthomyxoviridae

A

vaccine

176
Q

complications of flu

A

secondary bacterial infection, pneumonia- interferes with clearance mechanisms, cilia wont function as well

177
Q

when and where is the decision made for the components of the flu vaccine

A

made by WHO, meet in february

178
Q

what considerations are made for the selection of the viruses in vaccine

A
  • influenza viruses in circulation
  • how they are spreading
  • do current vaccine strains protect agains new strains
  • is a goof vaccine strain available the would provide protection
179
Q

what drugs are now available to treat influenza, how do they work?

A

-Zanamivir / Relenza- neuraminidase inhibitor
- Oseltamivir / Tamiflu- neuraminidase inhibitor
-Peramivir / rapivab- neuraminidase inhibitor
-Amantidine hydrochloride- inhibits viral uncoating (interferes with viral protein M2)
Must be taken right away or wont work

180
Q

what is H5N1 and why are we so concerned about it

A

subtypes not circulated in humans

181
Q

what was H1N1 and why were we so concerned about it

A

had not circulated in a long time

182
Q

Landsteiner

A

first one to find polio

183
Q

Salk

A

invented inactivated vaccine with fermaldehyde for polio

184
Q

Sabin

A

invented attenuated oral vaccine for polio

185
Q

Enders

A

grew polio in non-neural tissue

186
Q

infection cycle for flu

A
  1. Attachment- Hemagglutinin binds to mucoprotein receptor
  2. Penetration- Neuraminidase inactivates the mucoprotein receptor sites (aids in endocytic process)
  3. Release of viral genetic material- M2 ion channel allows H+ ions in capsid (changes pH)- weakens M1 matrix protein
  4. Nucleic acid replication and protein synthesis- Copying of (-) RNA genome for genetic material, Production of mRNA to produce proteins
  5. assembly of viral particle- make capsid around genetic material
  6. Release of infectious viral particle- Buds off from plasma membrane- Neuraminidase aids in budding
